NREN Compendium
•
•
•
•
•
Compendium has been published
annually since 2000.
Collection of relevant information about
European NRENs:
– Administrative data and legal form.
– Number of users and market share.
– Internal and external connectivity,
and capacity of links.
– Network traffic, load and
congestion indicators.
– Services, staffing and funding.
Provides overview of network status in
each country.
2004 edition now available on TERENA
website,
A good tool for lobbying governments
and/or funding bodies!

Warning! Don’t take what
will follow too seriously!
• Based on data provided by the NRENs
to the Compendium questionnaires
• Differences in interpretation (diminishing)
• NRENs are difficult to compare
• Leads to more questions than answers…
• Will give you data from France,
Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain
• (plus some from Portugal and from The
Netherlands)

Comparison perhaps not
completely fair…
• RedIRIS had 17
connections at 155 Mb/s
• GARR had just upgraded
3 centres to 2.5 Gb, but
each via 2 routes, so they
claimed to have 5 Gb/s
• Many other centres in
Italy in fact connected
only at 34 Mb/s (yellow
lines)
